Production inference increasingly targets a heterogeneous mix of accelerators. Agentic pipelines interleave reasoning, tool calls, and multi-agent coordination, each with distinct compute and memory profiles. For optimal efficiency, each stage should run on the accelerator best suited to it. This creates a systems challenge: each pipeline now requires high-performance kernels across a growing set of hardware backends and programming models. Writing these kernels by hand is time-consuming, demands deep low-level expertise, and does not scale as kernel complexity grows. Recently, Large Language Models (LLMs) have been leveraged for automatic kernel generation, but challenges in low-level code generation and cross-backend generalization persist. We present KForge, a cross-platform framework built around an iterative refinement loop driven by two collaborating LLM-based agents: a generation agent that produces and progressively refines kernels using compilation and correctness feedback, and a performance-analysis agent that interprets profiling data, from programmatic APIs to GUI-based tools, and emits recommendations that steer the next round of synthesis. The loop alternates between functional passes, which drive a candidate to correctness, and optimization passes, which close the performance gap to hand-tuned baselines. We evaluate KForge on two backends with very different baseline reference availability. On NVIDIA B200, KForge achieves a 2.12$\%$ improvement in end-to-end throughput compared to TensorRT-LLM on the gpt-oss-20b inference speed benchmark. On Intel Arc B580, KForge generates Triton kernels achieving a 5.13$\times$ geometric mean speedup over the faster of PyTorch eager and torch.compile on 37 GEMM + tail-ops workloads from KernelBench Level 2, primarily via operator fusion and mixed-precision execution.
